Interpretation
Children learn to ask questions spontaneously. They learn to surpass themselves; the aim is not to meet expectations but to consciously break them. Because the more unexpected the questions, the more difficult it will be to answer them seriously.
Instructions
A child sits on a chair. The children in the rest of the group (who are standing) now start asking questions that can be answered with one word.
The seated child now does this, but only with the word "sausages".
As soon as the child starts laughing, they change places and another child comes into the middle.
Variants
Of course, other words can also be used. A funny word can also be defined by the children in advance.
Tips
Children need to think up questions spontaneously. There should never be a pause, but at the same time care should be taken that individual questions are heard and not lost in confusion. Instead, the responding child trains his concentration on a single word and does not laugh!
